Gossips, The Wasps of Society.

The Rev. Wilhar F. Watkins, a ‘clereyvman of New York, has been

/preaching to his congregation on “The

Fashionable Sins of Gossip and Slander. | The preacher's remarks were of such @ | practical character, that they deserve a | very wide circulation :

There are numbers ef persons, he said, who live in the world by seed gathering |They are known to us all as tale bearers. The bird gathers seed to bring it to the young, but the tale-bearer gathers seed or rossip to spread among neighbors and The tale-bearer carries the devil

Grits imposed, were abolished ; the stamp | duty was repealed, the tax on newspapers | was remitied, and oher mimor taxes were removed. Yet at the end of last} year, there rema ned in the Treasury a | surplus of $6,225.478.25, which ha- been applied to the reduction of the public debt, and expended in needed improvements. At the next Session of Parliament a still further reduction cr remission of certain duties will, in all probability, take place. Still the Oppo- sitionists will continue to grumble.

Canadian Cheese.

In 1864, there was but one Cheese fac- tory in Canada —now there are upwards of five hundred; and at an exhibition recently held at Woodstock, Oatario, there was more cheese on exhibition thao the ‘otal amount of the Canadian export in 1857 or 1858. It is stated that in 1864 the total movey value of Canadian exports of cheese was only $16.000. which increased in fifteeu years—1]879- 80 to $4,094,046, representing 43 441,- 112 pounds weight. The last ten years growth is startling. The exports in 1871 were 2.000.780 pounds, valued at 233.- $28, 1881. 49,255 523 pounds, valued at $5,510 443. and the advance in quality has kept pac: with the extension of the business

At the great Centennial Exhibition held in Phtladelphia, a few years ago. Canadian cheese drew second honors in an all world competition; and at the next Internationa] Exhibition of Cheese that was held, Cavada was victorious over Englixh Cheshires and Ched¢ars. and the products from all the cieese producing States of the neighboring Republic.

The King’s County Hiection.

The Patriot is much muddled about the King’s Couuty Election case. It has a@ new idea now. What that idea is, is not very clear. We will use his own words :—-

‘*We see in the St. Jonn Freeman thet in the election case of King’s County, N S., the petitioner having filed affidavits t show the efforts made en his behalf to serve the defendant with the necessary papers, Judge Rigby has made an absolute order extending the time of service. Who was wrong—Judge Hensley in the Island King s County case, or Judge Rigby in the Nove Scotia King’s County case? Both cannot be right. It is openly said and confidently believed by many that Mr. Austin C. Me- Donald designed'y evaded the service of the legal notice.

Judge Rigby is wrong; and we give that answer upon Judge Rigby’s own authority. It is quite true he gave an order extending the time for service. Bat, when the matter was fully argued before him, he reconsidered that decision ; and. deciding that his order extending time should not have been made, he reversed it, the effect of which was to dismiss the election petition.

The Patriot’s statement that Mr. A.C. McDonald designedly ‘‘evaded” the service of the petition is to use an almost historic expression, ‘ta malicious false- hood and a flagitious lie.” After’ the petition had been filed, and during the time it ought to have been served, Mr McDonald was at Montague and Robert- son swears he saw himthere. Withiv the same five days Mr. McDonald was iu Charlottetown and saw and conversed with Mr. Sutherland one of Robertson's solicitors. Why was he not served on either of these occasions? Because as we said before Robertson did pot wish it, nor did his solicitor. The whole matter from beginning to end, on Robert- 80u’s part, was a sham and a fraud.

REGARDING Bismarck’s statement that England intended to secure a ma- jority of the shares of the Suez Canal Company so as to oust DeLesseps, the London Times considers these suppos- itious to be untounded and believes that M. deLesseps is more reasovable than might appear from his proceedings duringthe war. If these objectional Je proceedings, it says, should be renewed at a critical time Eogland might be driven to adopt stringevt measures to safe-guard her interests. Whether, it adds, the project of a second canal be practicable or not, the limits of the existing com- pany’srights shouldbe defined and the application of them organ within the

| time.

| faults ?

The former goes from honse to house sowing the seed of slander, revealing secrets that should remain untold, and causing deep resentments, blasted charac- ters, and oftentimes the ruination of a life People should bewere of them and

net let them enter their dwellings. A mad

| dog’s bite is not half so dangerous and des-

truetive as the bite or tongue of the slen- derer. Some people relating the bold facts f ascandal so vonstrue the points as to alter the real character of the story. Who of us all experiences as much pleasure in

| dwelling upon the good character of our

fellow men as we do in dwelling on thei The preacher then went on to lescribe the manner of the average tale

hearer,who was most generally of the female sex. She has discovered a secret and it urns within her. She cannot rest aatil 1 is seatiered broadcast. She cails ona friend andl excuses herself for her ‘* unavoidable’ delay in not calling souner. She talks for while and then attempts to go. Is in such s hurry, &c, “ But wait,’” she says, ‘| just thought of something. Was nearly iorgetting. We are all alone, ain't we! No one will hear us, and I wouidn’t for the world let any one but you know it.” She then whispers ; the tale is spread, and the bearer of the scandal departs, contented, to another heusehold to vouchsafe the same information.

The abominable habit of listening to, and being delighted with, every little piece of curtaic lecture is a very vicious one’ Mothers should not encourage their cbil- dret: to relate pieces of gossip. Heads of houses should not give the commen- datory smile, when one of these “wasps” is stinging around. The listeners turo to be stung will come soon evough. The pernicious habit is growing, and re- quires careful watching. No reputation is safe, and no man’s character remaivs unscathed, when these “wasps” begin to sting. Perhaps the kindest way to treat the inveterate gossip is to show him or her the door. The remedy is a drastic oue, but after all is it not the best ?

ES

The Robbery Case.

Evidence tor the Defence.

This forenoon, His Honor the Stipen- diary Magistrate gave a written decision admitting all material evidence for the defence.

E. W. Dawson, (recalle*), examined by Mr. Davies. In the main examination I mentioned a cheque. The cheque was handed me by Stumbles on Wednesday or Thursday previous to the robbery, 1 re- fused it. When Blatch came to see me on the same day, nothing was said by him about payment by a cheque I saw Stumbles on the day before the prisoner came to me and offered to settle The cheque was for $200 in part payment. | raid I would pot take it until [I got the whole of it. I had no reason to be doubt- ful of Blatch’s cheque. I would pr«bably have taken it if it had been for the full amount. In my main evidence I spoke of « $20 American Bill. I know J. C Oater- bridge. 1 may have told him in John Stumbles’ shop that it was a $20 Silver Dollar Note or a Treasury Note. This no'e is _ neither. I remem- ber conversing with Samuel Stum- bles and Joseph Seaman on the night of Blatch’s arrest. Imay have told them it was a silver dollar note. I remember talk- ing to Judge Alley and may have told him the same thing. I cannot rewember whether I had $200 in addition to the amount I received from Blatch, I believe the full amount wastaken out before George Hughes.

Cross examined by Mr. McLeod—I was selling Blatch an interest in a livery stable Tie gross price Blatch was liable for was $654 or $653. Up to Friday night he had not paid me any money. The agreement was made on the Monday or the Tiesday previous to to the robbery. No distinct time was agreed upon. But I expected the money right off I told Carvell that I thought the note I gave Messervey was a $20 silver dollar note or a Treasury note. Garvell then showed me the note; but at that time | didn’t notice whether it was a silver dollar note or a Treasury note or a greenback. The bulk of the money I had in my pocket besides what Blatch gave me was the earnings of the sta- ble from day to day. It was paid into my own hands. I kept an account. [ also paid out money in connection with the stable. The account is in the Stumbles Livery Stable books, There was always a balance of earnings. JI remember that Blatch gave me a $20 American Bill. He paid me one or two. I can’t remember that I received any other $20 American hill on that day. I can’t remember that I got any money in cennection with the stable on the Friday Blatch paid me the money. I may and I may not. I think I collected some of the money on the Satur- day following. I don’t know what amount. I received some money from the stables on Friday or Saturday from Genera! Dunn— I think between $10 and $20. I told Carvell I got the $20 bill I gave Messervey from Blatch. I supposed the note] gave Messervey was 3 $20 siiver dollar note or a Treasury note. I told Carvell that the only way that I had of remembering the note was that it was peculiarly light in color, and that it was a silver dollar note or a Treasury note.

Re-examined by Mr. Davies.—The Livery Stab'e books do not show all the amou ts 1 received. If they don’t show it will be in minor smounts. If there was any money got from the Livery Stable on Friday, I g: t

ian igvicn of ay ‘independent gud

omitted from the bouks would be between Monday and Friday.

AxcuisaLp Livinestone (sworn—exam- ined by Mr. Davies)—I am night watch man on Peake’s block. I remember the night on which Carvell’s safe was robbed. I remember standing on the platform con versing with Mr. Leigh. I saw Albert Carveill leave the premises on that night. It was between 11 and 12 o'clock. Mr. Leigh and I were standing at the lamp-post atthe time. I saw no one afterwarus tha nigbt. Mr. Leigh went home about 12 o'clock.

(Cross examined by Mr. McLeod)—It was after 11 o’clock that Mr. Albert Car- vell left. Mr. Leigh spoke to him as he passed, but he made no answer and passed

on, Mr, Leigh then hauled out his watch and said, ‘* It’s twelve o’clock.” 1 said, ‘Your watch is too fast.” Mr. Leigh

suid, ** It will be late betore he gets home ’ I think in my own mind that it was then between eleven and twelve o’clock. It was a full hour before Mr. Carvell left that | saw two men go down on the wharf. I lefi that morning at half-past five. I came o1 he premises at 8o0’clock. My beat includes Peake’s No. 1 wharf and No. 2 wharf. | might have been deceived by the town el.ck as the wind was blowing hard. I think | remember hearing it striking’ 11 o’clock. Between 12 and 1 o'clock I heard a sound like the jarring of a door. It came from the direction of Peake’s Warehouse, whicl is next to Carvell’s. That was after Albert Carvell went home. I went down No. 1 wharf, and found door ‘‘A No. 3” open. | thonght it was that door that cansed the lamming, but may have been mistaken.

Georcrk Epwarp Hueues (sworn)—Ex- amined by Mr. Davies—TI am proprietor of Apothecaries’ Hall. I know E. W. Daw- son. I remember that E. W. Dawso: came to the Apothecaries’ Hall the night h: was paid by Blatch, When hecame in, we got Into conversation about the — livery stable. He said he was ‘out of it, and had the money. He took the money out of his wiside breast pocket of his coat and opened it out on the counter. He then commenced turning over the notes as though he wer counting. [ said, ‘‘there’s about $600 there.” He _ said, ‘*there’s more than that,” and proceeded to go throngh it acain, as he did at first. { then noticed there was more money thun I at first saw. 1 can’t swear whether I sai: there was a $1,000, but I believe there was $1,000. Dawson led me to believe that this money had been paid him by Blatch fer the Livery Stable.

Re examined by Mr. McLeod—I kept count of the money as he was turning over the bills. There were twenty dollar Mer- chant’s Bank Bills and other money besides. [did not notice any Greenbacks. I made an estimate from my own count while he was turning the notes over. 1 judged there were $600. [ think there weve $500 or $400 in twenty dol- lar bulls. These I saw more particularly on the second count. I remember distinctly that one package was ef $20 P. E. IL. Mer- ehant Bank bills. I told Blatch the nex: morning that he had paid pretty well for that hivery stable, 1 conldn’t say how many ‘‘1’s” or ‘‘ 2's” there were. There were a good many “ fives.”

Killed by an Editor.

John A. Cockrell, managing editor of the Post-Despatch, St. Louis, last Friday even- ing, shot and killed Col. A. W. Slayback, a prominent lawyer and politician of that city The trouble which terminated so trag- ically dates back to a political meeting held Thursdayjevening, in which Slayback made « bivter «nslaught on the Post-Despatch and its reporters, to which the paper responded this evening by uncomplimentary references to Slayback, which rendered him so indiy- nant that he visited his office to demand satisfaction. Cockrell left the office with a friend immediately after the shooting and his whereabouts as yet are unknown. The greatest excitement prevailed throughout the city on receipt of the news.

A Lively Cyclone.

Latest news from Havanna report that the recent cyclone at Vuetta, Abajo caused considerable loss of life and property. Tobacco seedlings were destroyed. A Herredura, 300 huts and houses, including the greater number of tobacco drying es- tablishments were destroyed ; 2,000 palm trees were blown down; 760 houses were destroyed at Consolacion Del Sur. The hodies of five persons, drowned by over- flowing of rivera, have been recovered and many more persons are missing.

It is common to talk about the work of the school in making good citizens. The school can aid in this work, but the homes of a country, far more than its schools, de- termine the character of its citizens. It is im the home that the foundations of cha- racter are laid,

It isnot too much to say that almost every species of erime and recklessness, under a canopy of the most gorgeous lying that human ingenuity is cap: ble of, is made familiar to the boy’s imagination in the popular story papers, circulated by the thousand, every week.
